Since the Marine Corps adopted the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Special Operations Capable (SOC) concept in 1987, Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) have deployed with the capability to conduct a small boat raid. The small boat raid mission is currently tasked to one of the rifle companies from the Battalion Landing Team (BLT). When weighed against the likelihood of executing the mission, the amount of time devoted to training to execute a small boat raid cannot be justified. Therefore, the Marine Corps should no longer train an infantry company from the BLT of a MEU (SOC) to conduct small boat raids. It is not a viable mission for an infantry company and the time dedicated to training for it would be better spent training for more likely contingencies.
